[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a material unloading conveyor for aluminum umbrella ribs, including a material unloading host 1. A feeding conveyor frame 2 is installed on the left side of the material unloading host 1. Two first conveyor belts 3 are symmetrically installed on the upper part of the feeding conveyor frame 2, with a certain gap between the two first conveyor belts 3. A material unloading cavity 101 is formed on the upper part of the material unloading host 1. Two sets of second conveyor belts 4 are symmetrically installed on the upper part of the material unloading host 1. Each second conveyor belt 4 is directly opposite a first conveyor belt 3, so there is a gap between the two second conveyor belts 4. The second conveyor belts 4 pass around the top plate 102 of the material unloading host 1 and surround the material unloading cavity 101. The height of the conveying surface of the first conveyor belt 3 is flush with the height of the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt 4. A material unloading baffle 5 is provided on the top plate 102 at the position directly opposite the gap between the two sets of second conveyor belts 4. The material unloading baffle 5 passes through one side of the top plate 102.
[0027] The aluminum umbrella ribs are mounted on a universal fixture for aluminum umbrella rib anodizing. After the aluminum anodizing process is completed, the universal fixture and the aluminum umbrella ribs are placed on the first conveyor belt 3 by manual or automatic feeding robot. The aluminum umbrella ribs are horizontally laid on the two first conveyor belts 3, while the universal fixture is vertically placed within the gap between the two first conveyor belts 3. This mounting state is maintained for conveying.
[0028] As the conveyor continues to move, one end of the universal hanger enters the unloading port 5, and the aluminum umbrella ribs enter the second conveyor belt 4. Gradually, all the aluminum umbrella ribs are located on the second conveyor belt 4, while the universal hanger is completely located inside the unloading port 5, and one end of the universal hanger abuts against the inner wall of the unloading port 5.
[0029] A lifting plate 6 is provided inside the unloading cavity 101. Guide columns 7 are slidably connected to the four corners of the lifting plate 6 via sliding holes. The upper end of the guide column 7 is fixed to the top plate 102, and the lower end of the guide column 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the unloading cavity 101. The guide columns 7 provide a limiting and guiding function for the lifting plate 6, allowing it to slide up and down within the unloading cavity 101. Two lifting cylinders 8 are centrally symmetrically fixed at the upper part of the unloading cavity 101. The extended ends of the lifting cylinders 8 are fixed to the top surface of the lifting plate 6. The lifting plate 6 is guided by the guide columns 7, and the lifting power comes from the lifting cylinders 8. By controlling the extension and retraction of the extended ends of the lifting cylinders 8, the lifting plate 6 is raised and lowered.
[0030] Two clamping cylinders 9 are fixed to the top surface of the lifting plate 6. The two clamping cylinders 9 are symmetrically arranged with the gap as the axis. The extended end of the clamping cylinder 9 is fixed with a clamping bar 10. The clamping bar 10 is slidably connected to the top surface of the lifting plate 6 through a linear slide rail. When one end of the universal hanger touches the inner wall of the unloading stop 5, the lower part of the universal hanger is located between the two clamping bars 10. By driving the two clamping cylinders 9 to extend simultaneously, the two clamping bars 10 clamp the universal hanger. After clamping, the lifting cylinder 8 is driven to extend, thereby causing the lifting plate 6 to descend, which can pull the universal hanger to separate from the aluminum umbrella frame, realizing the automatic separation effect of the aluminum umbrella frame and the universal hanger.
[0031] An aluminum umbrella rib conveyor frame 11 is installed on the right side of the unloading host 1. The height of the conveying surface of the aluminum umbrella rib conveyor frame 11 is lower than the height of the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt 4. A guide plate 12 is fixed at the loading end of the aluminum umbrella rib conveyor frame 11. The guide plate 12 extends upward towards one side of the second conveyor belt 4, and the upper edge of the guide plate 12 rests on the corner surface of the two second conveyor belts 4 away from the loading conveyor frame 2. After the universal hanger is clamped and lowered, it loses the obstruction of the universal hanger. The second conveyor belt 4 works and conveys the aluminum umbrella ribs carried on the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt 4 to the guide plate 12. After reaching the guide plate 12, the aluminum umbrella ribs slide down along the guide plate 12 onto the conveying surface of the aluminum umbrella rib conveyor frame 11. The aluminum umbrella ribs are then conveyed and collected by the aluminum umbrella rib conveyor frame 11, realizing the automatic transfer and collection effect of the aluminum umbrella ribs.
[0032] An upper conveying channel 13 is fixed at the position of the lifting plate 6 directly opposite the unloading stop 5. Two clamping bars 10 are located above the upper conveying channel 13 on both sides. The upper conveying channel 13 passes through the lifting plate 6. The inlet of the upper conveying channel 13 is directly between the two clamping bars 10 and also directly opposite the unloading stop 5. After the two clamping bars 10 clamp the universal hanger and descend, the clamping cylinder 9 retracts at the same time, and the universal hanger falls to the inside of the upper conveying channel 13 and slides down along the inner cavity of the upper conveying channel 13.
[0033] A lower conveying channel 14 is fixed inside the unloading cavity 101, directly below the upper conveying channel 13. The lower conveying channel 14 includes a bottom support platform 1401 fixed in the middle of the unloading cavity 101. Four guide columns 7 pass through the bottom support platform 1401. The bottom support platform 1401 is U-shaped. A fixed base plate 1402 is fixed on the top surface of the open section of the bottom support platform 1401. A thrust cylinder 1403 is fixed on the top surface of the bottom support platform 1401 away from the open section. A misalignment frame 1404 is fixed at the extended end of the thrust cylinder 1403. The misalignment frame 1404 is located above the fixed base plate 1402. After the universal hanger descends, the upper conveying channel 13 connects with the misalignment frame 1404. Then, after the clamping bar 10 is released, the universal hanger falls into the misalignment frame 1404 along the upper conveying channel 13 until the bottom of the universal hanger lands on the top surface of the fixed base plate 1402. Then, the lifting cylinder 8 retracts, the lifting plate 6 resets, and the thrust cylinder 1403 extends, pushing the misalignment frame 1404 to move towards the open end of the bottom support platform 1401. The misalignment frame 1404 is misaligned with the top surface of the fixed base plate 1402, so that the bottom opening of the misalignment frame 1404 is open.
[0034] The inner wall of the unloading cavity 101 is located directly below the lower conveying channel 14 and a hanging device conveying frame 15 is installed. The U-shaped opening of the bottom support platform 1401 is directly opposite the hanging device conveying frame 15. The conveying direction of the hanging device conveying frame 15 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 4, and the discharge section of the hanging device conveying frame 15 extends to the outside of the unloading host 1. After the misalignment frame 1404 is misaligned with the fixed base plate 1402, the universal hanging device continues to fall until it falls onto the conveying surface of the hanging device conveying frame 15 and is received and transferred by the conveying surface of the hanging device conveying frame 15.
[0035] In summary, this invention, through the cooperation of the second conveyor belt 4, the unloading stop 5, and the clamping cylinder 9, can automatically separate the aluminum umbrella ribs from the universal hanger. The equipment achieves automatic transfer and collection of the hanger via the lifting plate 6, the upper and lower conveying channels 14, and the hanger conveying frame 15. The disassembled aluminum umbrella ribs are then systematically collected via the aluminum umbrella rib conveying frame 11. Mechanized disassembly significantly improves efficiency and reduces the rate of operational errors, while also minimizing the risk of hanger damage.
